America Supports You.
Isn’t that the group that’s head is under criminal investigation for:
1) circumventing the Federal Acquisitions Regulations and other fiscal laws by using Stripes as a conduit to fund America Supports You
2) Issuing contracts for America Supports You without legal reviews and other required procedures.
3) Issuing contracts for America Supports You violated rules governing the use of nonappropriated funds, which require such money to be spent to benefit Stripes.
4) Sole-sourcing a contract to a public relations firm headed by a friend of without any competition or market analysis.
5) Has a whistle blower complaint against her.

Not sure, don't know the background of the group or whether you have a history of being opposed or pissed at them.
Do know that I took my family to Sea World in San Diego and was impressed with their tribute to the brave men and women who protect our Constitution and Nation.
I've seen tokens here and there before, and given what our men and women and uniform are doing, this is only a token also, but it was the best I've seen yet.
Maybe there is a bad apple somewhere in the group, they do show up here and there, even in good organizations with good goals, and in general with a good track record.
It would be a shame to denigrate a company for doing the right thing and making at least some effort to make recognizing the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, and their families because of some generalized association with a group that may or may not (innocent until proven guilty?) have warts.
What's the other option - wait for perfection and show no gratitude?
I was very pleased, and happy my children could see the respectful recognition of our servicemembers. Congratulations to AB for doing so when so many others won't.
For those that want to denigrate a public showing of such respect, I guess I don't know what to say...
